Powerful high-contrast imaging techniques on direct detection of exoplnaets
[Abstract]
Direct detections of very faint exoplanets and brown dwarfs near bright stars are essential in understanding substellar for- mation and evolution around stars. The task is dauntingly difficult. The exoplanet or brown dwarf image is usually much fainter than the background from the brilliant PSF image. Aside from the Poisson noise, ground-based tele- scopes suffer from atmospheric turbulence that produces random short-lived speckles that mask faint companions. I will talk about two techniques called ADI and LOCI, can be used on ground-based altitude/ azimuth telescopes to subtract a significant fraction of the stellar quasistatic noise.

Near-infrared Imaging Polarimetric Study of Orion A molecular cloud
[Abstract]
Orion Molecular Cloud (OMC) is the nearest region of massive star formation, which was intensively studied as a representative of star-forming regions. The northern part of Orion A molecular cloud,
OMC-1, -2, -3, and the southern part, OMC-4, are often referred to Integral Shape Filament (ISF), and contain intermediate-sized molecular cores, low and high mass young stars, dozens of Herbig-Haro (HH) objects and molecular outflows.
We present the first wide-field deep near-infrared images of 15′ x 50′ area of the Orion A ISF, obtained by SIRPOL, simultaneous JHKs imaging polarimeter on the IRSF telescope. Point-source aperture polarimetry suggest the magnetic field orientations are perpendicular to the elongation of the filament. Moreover, the hour-glassed shape magnetic field pattern in OMC-1 is confirmed by our polarization maps.

Revealing the lower side of IMF and Searching for planetary mass objects
[Abstract]
Initial mass function (IMF) is one of the most important physical parameters in the star formation theory. Many author have investigated the IMF for a long time, however it has not been completely understood. I’m studying the lower side of IMF, in particular the bottom. Here, I’ll introduce some studies related to IMF, and my ongoing works.

Galactic-scale Outflow at z>4 revealed by Adaptive Optics
[Abstract]
Characterization of the large-scale galactic outflow is very important to understand many astrophysical phenomena at high-z, such as the escape of LyA photons from the galaxy, the relation between the galaxy populations, and IGM metal-enrichment history. Although galactic outflows are ubiquitously found in star-forming galaxies at 2
